Fellow fans,

Any questions I can pass along?

I have a few (obviously you don't need to use all or any of them)

Is Graham writing and/or recording the drums for the new songs?

Will the new songs definitely be released or is that still being decided?

Is there an release date and tour plans for the new BOM record?

Some gear geek questions:

I notice sometimes you use different amps depending on the gig. Is there a reason you use a matchless, marshall, or VOX depending on the gig?

How did you initially come to use the Jazzmaster? Jimmy seems to have a different guitar, (or at least a different Les Paul) every tour, but you always stick with the Jazzmaster. When did you get the infamous sunburst Jazzmaster you're always using?

Please ask Adam the most pressing Swervie question that's out there.....Will " Laze it Up " ever make it into the set list ?

The most pressing question is going to be the 'new album' question until it ever gets released. Until that gets answered....he's going to be asked that forever.

Here's one:
Will you ever release a tab book for those guitarists who wish to play their favorite Swervedriver songs correctly?

What's the writing process for Swervedriver material. Does Adam show up with everything worked out as I imagine he does with solo stuff? Or does it evolve out of jamming?

How is playing with Graham again? Does the new stuff feel more like Raise era material because of him?

Any plans to reissue more of the old t shirt designs such as the Kill the Superheroes long sleeve or Never Lose that Feeling shirt?

Will they get Alan Moulder back in to mix new stuff for continuity or use the equally awesome Charlie Francis?

Any plans for another Toshack lp like the 'Ship' album?

Just a few questions there!
